Re: Off Topic - Question for ye olde computer geeks

Atrocities,
In terms of, "why" you can't turn the system off by just pushing the power button:
I believe it was built into the ATX standard to save people from themselves. Many a system was accidentaly turned off by a careless knees or hand. The default is 10 seconds.
I could be wrong about the ATX standard part thought that is the first I remember seeing it.
Now, if they could buid an auto correct feature into the keyboard, that would be nice.
